Bing’s Travel Alert Fare Prediction Tool Sucks

I was planning a trip to head up to Seattle for the 4th of July holiday and decided to put Bing’s Travel alert fare prediction tool to work. I let a few days go by and did not see any significant fare rate drops, so I decided to do some looking around on my own. I ended up buying tickets directly from the airlines website for less than my set price of $385.

I continued to keep the alerts going to see if eventually I would get a better deal. Looks like I made the right decision. I guess to the tool’s features were too good to be true.
